Chapter 81

I took the troops in the forest towards the direction of the most intense gunfire.

It wasn't long before we got close to the edge of the forest. From here, we could see the smoke, shrapnel and gunfire in front of us! The black smoke and air waves from the explosion, like a hot fog, shrouded the fighting area for a long time.

I asked the troops to stop and stand by. Then I went to the edge of the forest by myself, stood by a birch tree, raised my telescope and watched the battle in the distance.

I don't know what the volokramsk bus station looked like, but I only saw the ruins through the telescope. In addition to a two-story building without a roof, which stands stubbornly on the horizon, and a few half man high walls that have not yet collapsed nearby, there are still smoky debris piles everywhere. There are dark pits all over the periphery of the rubble heap. There are many bodies lying around the craters. From their uniforms, it is easy to identify that these are the bodies of the German army, which were probably destroyed by our soldiers during the attack.

From the window of the two-story building, we can see a lot of figures shooting out. It should be that our soldiers are fighting tenaciously. Between the building and the rubble, there were many buses with only frames left in the fire. With these vehicles as the cover, the German army launched a cautious attack on the building. Maybe our army's firepower was too fierce, and the German attack did not work. After leaving a pile of corpses in front of the building, the remaining soldiers had to retreat back and hide behind the car. They were lying on the rubble and firing at our soldiers in the building.

"Comrade commander," said felstov in a voice beside me, "it seems that our people are fighting. We should go and help them."

I put down the telescope and turned to see that he was standing beside me, also holding the telescope to observe the enemy situation. Looking aside, it was not only him, but also other company commanders and deputy company commanders. Originally, I was the only one in the team who had binoculars, but since the army came back from the warehouse, almost every company had a binoculars hanging around its neck. Except for a few which were seized from the German army, the rest should be the inventory in the warehouse.

I raised the telescope again and measured the distance between us and the destination with the scale on the lens. Then I shook my head regretfully and said, "we are nearly 300 meters away from the station. If it's normal, the soldiers only need to charge at this distance, and they can rush past it in minutes at most. However, the snow on this section of the road is too deep, and the soldiers' charging speed will be affected. If the German army finds out, they just need to turn the muzzle of their guns and they can easily wipe out our troops in the snow. "

"Look! German tanks. " There was a sudden cry from Pavlov, who had not spoken.

I quickly raised my telescope and nervously looked to the direction of the station. Pavlov was right. There was a German tank coming from a distance. It seemed that it was to provide fire support for the German soldiers. Maybe it was because when they saw their tanks coming, a few German soldiers who had been lying on the rubble suddenly had the courage to jump up and rush into the building with weapons. I didn't know that I was knocked down by the cross fire of the windows on the first and second floors of our army just after two steps.

German tanks stopped behind the rubble, the turret slowly turned half a circle, aimed at the building, and burst into fire. A shell hit the wall between the two windows on the ground floor. With the explosion of the shell, bricks and stones splashed on the wall, and the fire of the two windows near the explosion point was interrupted. As the smoke dispersed, a circular pit appeared on the wall, but the wall was not penetrated by the shell. When I saw that the wall was not pierced by German shells, I could not help but feel relieved. I admired Lao maozi from the bottom of my heart. They built the building with high quality and quantity. They did not cut corners at all. They were able to build a high-quality project that could not be pierced by German shells.

Just as I was filled with emotion about this trustworthy project, the German tank fired another shot and hit the position just now. This time, it was not so lucky as last time. The wall was directly blasted with a big hole for two people to go side by side. The German soldiers hiding behind the bus, seeing that the cannonball had exploded the breach, rushed out of the hiding place and rushed towards the hole.

This new German attack was defeated by the cross fire of our soldiers without any doubt. Except for those who hid fast, the rest were knocked down. However, a German soldier rushed fiercely. After hitting several rounds, he fell through the hole with the inertia of rushing forward.

Less than a minute after the German soldier fell in, more than a dozen of our soldiers with rifles poured out of the cave, shouting and attacking the German army hiding behind the car. Tank shells exploded in the crowd, killing several soldiers in the middle. The soldiers in front fired only one shot and were knocked down by the fierce German fire. The soldiers who just came out of the cave saw that the situation was not right, so they quickly turned around and ran back. Unfortunately, it was a step too late, and the German bullets found their final destination.

A funny counterattack fell apart like this. I was stunned to see the stupid action of the garrison. I secretly scolded which idiot had made such a short attack on the spur of the moment.

The German tank stepped back a few steps and stopped. With a stream of black smoke coming out of the back of the car, the tank sped up and rushed up the rubble to the station building.

"No!" There was a cry from Lu Jin“ What's the matter? " I put down my telescope and looked at Lu Jin discontentedly, thinking that there is something worth your fuss“ Comrade commander He came up to me, pointed to the station in the distance and said to me, "the tank of the Communist Party of China wants to rush over and hit the building. If it breaks several walls, the building will collapse and bury all the garrison alive inside." I didn't speak. I raised my telescope again and looked at the station. My heart was in the battle between heaven and man. Is it going to rescue or not? Compared with such a long impact distance, in addition to the soldiers will pay a huge price in the midway, the German tank will also pose a great threat to us after rushing past. Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt that my vision began to be a little blurred. The two sides of the war, who had seen clearly, actually became a little vague“ Great! It's snowing I don't know who's next to me. I yelled excitedly. I took a look away from the telescope, and sure enough, the sky really began to snow, and the snowflakes like scraps of paper were falling down, and the more they were scattered, the denser they were, and the visibility quickly dropped to within a few meters. Russia's weather is so abnormal, often a minute ago or sunny, a minute later will snow. Seeing such a heavy snow, I was overjoyed: God helps me. I don't have to worry that the German troops will find me when they approach the station. I immediately summoned all of you and gave them a loud assignment: "the first company and the second company surrounded from the left and right sides, and the guard platoon and artillery company attacked me from the front. You tell the soldiers to be smart when fighting. It's not enough just to have courage. They also need to learn to use tactics correctly. The flesh and blood alone can't stop the enemy's bullets. So don't rush forward foolishly with the enemy's firepower. That will only let the enemy kill us all... "" Comrade commander! How shall we attack? " The short sergeant who spoke yesterday stood up and asked aloud“ Good question! You all have to remember that our equipment is good now. Every class is equipped with machine guns. So when attacking, attack with the class as the unit. When encountering the enemy's firepower interception, first use the machine gun to suppress it, and then use the grenade to destroy him. If you encounter a difficult fire point, the artillery will blow it up with guns. " I stopped for a moment, looked at the commanders gathered in front of me, and then said, "in this battle, I don't ask you to make a quick decision. As long as you can destroy the enemy with the least cost, it doesn't matter if you fight slowly. At the end of the battle, if we can live one more soldier, we will have more hope of holding the position. Do you understand? "“ I see! " Everyone answered me with one voice“ Good! You go back to your teams and lead the troops to attack! Remember, we used the heavy snow to approach the station and launched a sneak attack on the enemy instead of a strong attack, so the troops were not allowed to make any noise before approaching the German army. Do you understand? "“ Understand They all agreed.
